People seeing art portraying Annabeth as Black with blonde hair or gray eyes or both and immediately calling her “show Annabeth” is so annoying.

Annabeth being depicted as Black is WAY older than the show, and if she has blonde hair and gray eyes, she’s a book depiction regardless of skin color!!! It’s not that hard!!!!!!

Leah is a perfect Annabeth anyway, but not every depiction of Annabeth as a Black girl is a depiction of LEAH as Annabeth!!!

#morgan murmurs #I’m probably not the best person to talk about this #but I had to fight some people under some fanart that was clearly made before the show was even greenlit or cast #and people were like “show Annabeth bla bla #no that’s Annabeth!#there’s no show Annabeth or book Annabeth there’s just Annabeth #pjo #hell she doesn’t even need to have blonde hair or grary eyes to be Annabeth #or book Annabeth or whatever dumb thing people are calling her #canon is fake there’s no such thing as book Annabeth or show Annabeth or whatever they’re all just Annabeth #I don’t even call my cosplay book Annabeth #I call it “a version of Annabeth that’s appropriate for me to cosplay as a white woman #which granted is a lot wordier #but it’s also a lot more respectful than suggesting book Annabeth can’t look like Leah #begging people to just stop being terrible #I bet you people complaining are the ones who also claim to be color blind or race blind
